Sometimes, amid the tumult and the throng, We hear an old, sweet song; A "broken strain from on we uned to hear. Back In some yesteryear: A melody, borne through the drifting haie Of life's forgotten days; The tumult died around us, strangely thrilled, . .. With roar of traffic stilled; Our eyes are dimmed our hearts turn back and then We dream old dreams again. Grantland Rice. ' "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." So the Athenians have arranged the Cale Tlme to May. donian picnic begin ning tomorrow and two weeks later the annual Pioneers Picnic and reunion will be held at Weston. These events will give all. the boys and girls, under 92 years of age, an opportunity to have a good time and get the proper outlook on life in general. The world was not created for the purpose of holding primary elections nor to see how much money a man could make .without killing himself off or getting into jail. It was intended as a play ground as much as anything else and the fact many people lose sight of the truth does not alter .the case In any way. If you don't believe it you are na Scootch. the intellectual quality of American life has been below the level of most of our civilized competitors; below Russia for example, in spite of her despotism; below Germany in science, history, drama, fiction, foreign trade; below Switzerland and Denmark in politics and meial progress? Probably tt Is because we have been too much interested In wealth, too lit tle in Ideas and ideals. TVlstol once observed that Americans seemed to be occupied with devices for savin time and then with devices for kill ing the time they had saved. That was said a number of years ago. Re cently we have seen a renaissance In one direction, and a renaissance In one direction Is likely to mean a renais sance in many directions. When a nation Is aroused with some general spirit. It often shows It In the by-products of literature and art. Tou can trace this truth in Greece, Italy, Hol land, England. The Vnited States la now aroused along one line or pro fessed Importance. ' It is trying to make its life more just, more kind, we may say more Christian, It is em bittered against the lay mind, which is In Us origin the mind of the per son who has a special advantage and fears to lose It. We are ceasing to confine our spiritual remarks to an hour on Sunday morning. We are be ginning to see a little actual sense In talk about brotherhood. We are beginning to try to apply It a little The change shows in our politics. It I is the basis of the most notable legis lation of today. It stirs business men It Is leading the clergy to throw their churches open to the arguments of the dissatisfied. It is trying to per suade even lawyers and judges to re consider the procedure they have built up and the phrases of which they have been the slaves. It is leading us to examine our schools and colleges and try to bring it about that they do more to fit the average boy and the average girl for the duties of the aver age life. Every time must have a gospel, if it is to be a noble, productive time. We are developing the Gospel .of Dem ocracy. Democracy does not mean playing on the weaker souls of the multitude. It means getting at the underlying needs and thoughts of the multitude. It means constitutionally interpreting the multitude. Our coun try is now watching a contest between the love of money, of luxury, of special advantage, on the one hand; and hu manity, light, and truth, on the other, We will be a Just country if this con test reaches a white heat of faith This will be a great country- If we live up to the phrases which we all use; If what we think we also dare. urn X1T fl S DAILY EAST OK T-GONIAN, PENDLETON.

And the twinkling stars shine bright And a mother sings to her baby love. Those wonderful songs of night; Those wonderful songs of sugar plum trees, . ' And fields where the fairies play. Of cockle-shell boats on golden seas That never are seen by day It is by-low time and she sweetly hums Those wqnderful songs of night; Of the blare of trumpets and sounds of drums When the little tin soldiers fight; She sings of a comical candy dog - And the gingerbread man who stands By the side of a blinking crooky frog, Without any arms or hands. And the moonbeams dance on the parlor floor, i And a ship sets out at sea. , And a baby Balls for the golden shore In search of the sugar plum tree; She's off to the cave of the Teddy Bear, And the haunts of the fairies kind No thoughts of tomorrow's worries Shall trouble her baby mind. Oh, sweet is the smile on the baby face And if ever a song can reach the skies. The angels must find delight In hearing a mother's lullabies Those wonderful songs of night.

Jill That's what they did. "And her father, did he follow them?" "Sure thing." "And did he catch up with them?" "He certainly did. . Why, he's living with them yet IN A MIRTHFUL VEIN that members of thei militia should be used for the protection of girls against such establishments. In Col orado there is no such sentimental ism. There the" militia is used to shoot down the wives and children of striking miners In cold blood. It is used to slaughter women, not to pro tect them. There Is no "maudlin sen timent" in Colorado like there is in Oregon. How our tories must like Colorado. The surprising thing is that they do not all go to that state to "live. Col. Roosevelt should first give us the full facts regarding that newly d 1 c o v ered river. Col. Roosevelt's Some explorers are River. making the claim he discovered a rivet that had pot been loet They admit he found a river with real banks and real water, but as the New York World expresses It doubt Is cast upon , the claim that it is a real 1914 model river, rather than an old 11$ model without a self-starter, cigar lighter attachment, etc. ; "Our own sympathies are with the Colonel, and as a geographer he has the fullest measure of our confi dence." says the World. "We are still convinced that everything will work out all right when the Colonel has a chance to state his case In full and amwer his critics. Even If It should be proved that somebody else found the river first and explored 11 long before the Colonel got bolls arid lost his dog, It will remain the only river ever discovered by a third-term candidate for president of the United Mates ho had been robbed of a nom ination by burrlars In control of a 11! republican national convention." That should be distinction enough for that river even If It is as large aa ths Rhine and the water flows down Mil. on duty. He was on deck one after noon during a recent trip across when WANTED "Now, my friends," said the candi date, making another effort to arouse enthusiasm in his hearers, "what do we need In order to carry this district bv the biggest majority In Its history?" The response was Immediate and enthusiastic. "Another candidate!" yelled the audience. TONIGHT More than 858,000 young trees are being set out this spring on national forests In Utah and Southern Idaho, and the season Is reported as particu larly favorable to their successful growth. FROM THE PEOPLE A SUGGESTION Petlleton, Oregon, May 12, 1914. To The East Oregonlan: Provided that the O.-W. Railway & Navigation company place the di vision where talked of ' immediately west of the state property, what Is the matter of the city taking up the matter of an inter-urban electric car line from the city to the point where the principal shops are to be located? A proposition of this kind could tettainly be taken up by the city and made to pay a very large dividend to the city. I think It could be Installed for, at the most, about 820.000 per mile, including all equipment This would mean about 880,000 fJ the line from Main street to the prin cipal place, this side of Pilot Rock Junction. The line might have to be evtf-T.rle.i to the east and west of rendleton In order to get cheaper building sites for people who coti'd T,nt afford to buy more expensive ,rnr.rfv t with many others AND ALWAYS THEREAFTER ALSO Alta Theatre gets the exclusive right to show Pathe Weekly every Sunday (right from the press, news that is fresh.)
